These handy little gadgets will make it just a teeny bit easier to shed those stubborn pounds. Check them out.

Vented Pourers

You may not mean to pour half a cup of dressing on your salad, but if you're not careful it can happen. Do you really need 300 calories worth of goo on those greens? Nope! Instead, invest in a set of handy little vented pourers, and it'll be easy to dispense small amounts of your favorite bottled liquids and dressings. Find these anywhere kitchen supplies are sold and at Bed, Bath and Beyond.

Misto Olive Oil Sprayer

Need to coat a pan or baking dish? Want to sauté your veggies in just a teensy bit of olive oil? Good luck! With quarter-sized bottle openings, oil seems to gush out in buckets. Invest in a Misto Olive Oil Sprayer. I love this thing! You can also use the Misto to spray bread with just a touch of oil, instead of dunking it in the fatty goop. Misto will be your new best friend (but it'll never ask you for a ride to the airport). You can get your own at Amazon.com.

George Foreman Grill

Unless you live under a rock, you've heard of the George Foreman Grill. Turns out, this great little grill is just as good as George says it is. Just slap some boneless, skinless chicken breasts, lean hamburger or trimmed steak on this baby, and watch as fat and grease collect in the cute little fat-trapper! Added bonus: Looking at the nasty, lardy cup of gunk may help motivate you to avoid other fatty items! Get the grill at Amazon.com.
